NICHOLAS SAMANTAs Patented Nov. 1, 1932 UNIT I STATES PATEN NICHOLASSAMANTAS, or SAN rnenorsco, CALIFORNIA T oFFicE PERMANENT HAIR WAVINGDEVICE Application filed August 11, 1930. Serial No. 474,513.

My invention relates to improvements in permanent hair waving devices,and it consists in the combinations, constructions and arrangementshereinafter described and claimed.

An object of' my invention is to provide a permanent hair waving devicewhich makes use of a spool having means for holding paper, the paper inturn receiving a strand of hair and being perforated so-th at steam canpass through the paper and aflect the hair during the permanent wavingoperation.

A still further object lies in the provision of a' handle for holdingthe spool which makes it easier to roll the spool by means of thehandle, the handle also being provided with means for swinging the coverof the spool away from the latter when receiving a strand of hair.

The invention also makes use of novelmeans for locking the spoolin placeafter it has rolled the strand of hair to the desired tightness;

Other objects and advantages will appear "as the specification proceeds,and the novel features of the device will be particularly pointed out inthe claims hereto annexed.-

My invention is illustrated in the accompanying draw1ngs,1n which Figure1 1s a view showmg how the various parts of the device are used,

I Figure 2 is aside elevation of a scissor type handle,

Figure A shows another view of the handle shown in Figure 3,-

Figure 5 illustrates the spool,

Figure 6 is a top plan view ofthe spool,

Figure v'. is a section along the line 77 of Figure 5,

Figure 8 is a side elevation of a clip used in the device,

' 7 Figures 9 and 10 are viewsof the clip shown in Figure 8,

Figure 11 shows how the clip holds the spool, and i Figure 12 shows astrip of paper used with the device.

In carrying out my invention 1 make use of a clip shown in Figures 8, 9and 10 which is securedto a strand of hair at a point ad-" jacent to thescalp. As many of these clips are used as needed, although I have onlyshown one such clip in Figure 1. The clip is composed of a body portionindicated,

generally at l, the body consisting of two parts 2 and 3 (see'Figure 9),these parts being permanently secured together by suitable fasteningmeans 4 such as pins or rivets.

The top of the body 1 has a concave recess 5 therein, and this receivesa roller 6. Figure 8 I show the roller as being pivoted at to an upright8 that passes between the parts 2 and 3 (see Figure 10) and is securedto these parts by fastening pins 4;. The parts; 96

2 and 3 are spaced to allow steam to pass between the same.

The strand orlock of hair is placed between the body land the roller 6and then the roller is swung from the full-line position shown 79 Figure8 into aposition paralleling the axis of the body. The free end of theroller 6 carries a hook 9. At the left hand end of the body 1, there ispivoted a fork-shaped member 10. This member is swingable about one ofthe P 4: as a pivot, and when swung in an outward direction permits theroller 6 to be swung into closed position. The forkshaped member canthen be swung back so as to receive the hook 9, and a cam 11 carried sgby the member 10 may be turned by means of a handle 12 so as to lock theroller 6 in closed position. As already stated, the body 1 and theroller 6 are placed near the scalp and enclose a strand of hair which isto becurled. I

The end of the strand of hair is now" 'wrappped around a spool shown indetail in Figures 5, 6 and 7. The spool consists of a body portion 13 ofthe shape shown-in Figure 5 and a lid 14:,the latter'being pivoted tothe body 13 by a pin 15. Figures 5 and 6 clearly Each strip of paper 20is preferably provided with a tongue 21 at one end and with perforations22 in its body portion. The

. tongue of one tissue paper 20 is passed beneath the spring 17 and iswrapped once around the spool 13 as shown in Figure 7 and then away fromthe spool 21 short distancfi knother piece of timue' paper 20 has itstongue 21 disposed in the slot 19, and then m the paper is wrappedaround the serrated edge 18 of the lid 14 and extends away from the lidin the manner shown in Figure 7.

The operator now makes use of a handle 23 of the type shown in Figure 2,or can make u use of a handle 25 of the type shown in Figutes3and 4 forsupporting the s 1 during I operation. The ban le 23 has a 26 designedto enter a socket 27 in the gol'ld (see Figure The rod 26 has a slot 3oil-center for receiving the pin through the socket 27. The lid lilies.arms 28' (see Figure 5) that have inwardly-turned ends for beingreceived in re- 29 in a semi-tubular member 30 that is I still totherod26. The recess 29 re- ;ceives the inwardly-turned ends of the arms 7 andit will be seen that a movement be- ;tweenthe semitubular member 30 andthe rod'BG will open and close the lid 14.

""30" The rod -26is provided with a handle 32,

and the semi-tubular member 30 is provided a handle 33. The gripping ofthese causes the parts 26 and 30 to move and to close the lid 14. Themoving 8| 0 fliehandles away from each other swings theiplrta 26 and 30into the position shown In 2, and this movement is limited by a setserew-34.

"The operator holds the lid 14 open while aeing the end of the strand orlook of hair the two papers shown in Figure 7 The lid 14 is now closedand the operator starts to roil the hair about the spool 13.

' It is'desirous to comb the shorter hairs of the'strand into the s 001while the spool is being rolled. A com of the ty shown in m copendingapplication, seriai llo. 523,345 March 17, 1931, may be used for this 5.t be best to describe the other type afhan at this point. The handle 25has fal'od 39 provided with a slot 40 which acts m manner as the rod 26and the slot *Asleeve 41 is slidably mounted on the 9; Mia, a d i urggdto the right in Fi 3 by is spring 42. The pin 43 acts as a stop fcrthespring and at the same time is repoured in a slot in the sleeve 41 so asto prevent rotation of the sleeve with respect to the 00.1fod39. .LAdisc 44 is secured to the sleeve 41 may be moved to the left. Figure 4shows how the left-hand end of the sleeve 41 is provided with lugs .45that engage with the sides 46 of the arms 28 and swing the 66 lid 14into open position. The freeing of the disc 44 allows the spring 42 toreturn it to normal position, and this permits the lid 14 to close.

The operator rotates the spool until it nears the clip 1. It will benoted from Figure 8 that the clip has an end portion 47 in the shape ofa book as shown in Figure 10 and a second end ortion 48 having anon-circular recess 49 t ein (see Figure 9). The spool 13 (see F i e5)has a. ratchet member 50 with a non-clrcular end 51 receivable in therecess 49. A spring 52 connects the member 50 with the spool 13 andpermits rotation of the spool in one direction with respect to theprojection 51 but prevents rotation in the opposite direction. Theoperator places the projection 51 in the recess 49 after the spool 13has been rolled up, and then continues to rotate the spool until thehair has been ti htened around it to the desired extent. Tl ie handle isthen removed from the spool and the ratchet prevents the spool fromunwinding.

A solution is then applied to the hair, following which the hair isheated in the usual manner. Since these operations form no part of myinvention, they need not be described.

Figure 11 shows how the spool 13 is held in the clip 1. The rest of thehair that is to be curled is gone over in the same manner as thatalready described.

Although I have shown and described two embodiments of my invention, itis to be understood that the same is susceptible of various changes, andI reserve the right to employ such changes as may come within the scopeofthe claims hereto annexed.
